Thu, 25 Jul 2013 19:49:15 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=488032#comment-538809you have to believe they would only decide to trade him because his contract is up this year. they are anticipating losing him to free agency one way or another, so why not try to get something in return for him now?

it’s not always black and white unfortunately.

Thu, 25 Jul 2013 18:33:04 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=488032#comment-538741Its a starting pitcher who is pitching very well this yr and Luke. Also just cause he has a bad rap here in kc doesn’t mean teams wouldn’t want a reliever who has pitched well this yr.

Thu, 25 Jul 2013 16:53:24 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=488032#comment-538650The Royals are a bad team with no shot at making the playoffs. They have a losing record, have been outscored by 14 runs, and are eight games behind the division leader and second wild card spot. Their season is over and they need to rebuild for the future.

Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:19:31 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=488032#comment-538475Seriously, why would we be thinking of trading off Santana?? For the first time in 25 years you have a decent pitching rotation that’s helping us win ball games and getting the fans back out to the stadium. Let George do his job like he is making what sticks we have in the line-up work. By far, the best team we’ve had in years with an opportunity for a wild card this season. Getting rid of Santana is a bad business decision for the Royals…

Well if u can’t get a new deal for him this is a smart move. I’d call Boston see if they would take him and Luke hochavear for Jackie Bradley Jr, Henry Owens, and Allen Webster.

———————————
Yea, and have them throw in Xander Bogarts and Rubby De La Rosa while you are at it. Get real, Boston is not going to fork over more than one high level prospect for a 2 month rental, those days are over. They just got out of jail free by taking LA to the cleaners in that deal last year, moving a quarter billion dollars in salary for Webster, De La Rosa, and a bucket of used balls. Don’t think they are going to dig that hole again. They’ll give some cash to Pedroia because he has earned it and deserves it.
You may have to settle for a deal like Santana for Webster and a low level prospect that will never see the majors, at least not in Bostons system.

Thu, 25 Jul 2013 01:55:06 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=488032#comment-538099Will likely trade for a bat, but I can assure you there is NO WAY Luke is back in rotation. He is about option #14 for rejoining the rotation.
